Step 3Opening the Case• It’s best to start from the side. (Be careful around the hold switch and headphone jack)• It’s easier if you use one soft tool to hold the gap open and then wedge another one in there to work your way side to side.• There are several clips holding the frame in place so gently pry up and down while you are moving side to side.

Step 4Place it face down• The case is still attached by 2 ribbons at this point so don’t try to remove the back just yet.
